There actually was a large truck coming down my block in Brooklyn at the same time it started and it took me a second to realize that no, it actually was an earthquake.
And I definitely agree, the 2011 one was more of a sway, this felt like a rumble.
- hateful 3y agoI'm on Long Island and there was a train passing at the same time.
- TuringNYC 3y agoFunny you say that! I live in NJ now and felt the quake today. I just brushed it away as a truck passing by (I grew up in Brooklyn.) In NYC, it is so common for large trucks, major construction, pile drivers, subways running under the building, bad roads causing trucks to shake, etc...that I am just used to this. I have not yet gotten accustomed to the stillness of suburbs despite being here for years now. (Side note: In NYC you can also get stillness and quiet, usually by going upwards into skyscrapers)
